Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • Lyme Disease and Sex

    Not Feeling So Sexy When I first got really sick from Lyme Disease, sex was the farthest thing from my mind. The first year, when I was semi-paralyzed, lying on my bed, wondering what was wrong with me, I thought… Continue reading

  • Loosening up and making mistakes

    I miss eating. I love eating. Before I got sick, I was a vegetarian. I ate at the local Indian restaurants a few times a week. I ate tasty salads with tons of ingredients, including hard boiled eggs. I cooked… Continue reading
